MOBILISATION OF THE EUROPEAN GLOBALISATION ADJUSTMENT FUND: RAUXA (FINLAND)

25 November 2014

Ian Hudghton (Greens/EFA) - I fully support this mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund which has come about as a result of the downturn in European shipbuilding. Like Finland, Scotland has a long history of shipbuilding – and the devastation caused by shipyard closures is only too well known to Scottish communities. We hear that certain naval contracts awarded to Scottish shipbuilders are now under threat; the Tory-led ?No' campaign in the recent referendum was guilty of a huge deceit.
